Kids write the darndest things: Passive-aggressive note to the tooth fairy

Reedit user Judokitten's dad recently found an old letter she wrote as a child to the tooth fairy:


Jodokitten offers some background story:

So, I had lost a tooth, but I was suspicious about the actual validity of the toothfairy's magical abilities. So, I didn't tell anyone about the lost tooth. Lo and behold, she did not arrive.

The next morning, I loudly proclaimed the toothfairy bullshit in my 9 year old terms, and my mom told me to write her a letter expressing my displeasure.

I was returned a letter that basically said,

"I couldn't get to your pillow the night before last because I got stuck in all the mess. Maybe if you clean your room, I could get to you in a timely manner."

Well played, tooth fairy. Well played.

From the archives: "This CD ROM can hold more information than all of the papers here below me."

The story behind the photo:

"In 1994 I shot a story for National Geographic called the Information Revolution. For one of the pictures I was trying to illustrate the power of digital storage and came up with the idea of showing how much information can be stored on a CD. At the time, it was 330,000 sheets of single spaced 8x10 single pieces of paper. (Now, through compression programs it's much more.) A large paper manufacturer in the northwest had donated the paper but the question of where to put it all remained. We thought we'd lay out the sheets in a grid pattern in some vast warehouse but when I did the calculations I found that even the largest building in the world, the nearby Boeing 747 hangar in Everette, Washington couldn't contain the picture I had in my mind. My assistant at the time, a former bartender, came up with the idea of stacking the paper like bar napkins and running a cable up through the middle with a steel plate at the bottom. It sounded like a concept so ridiculous I knew it would be the perfect solution."

Bill Gates, an early proponent of CD technology was receptive to the idea of sitting atop the stacks of paper - much more than I thought he would be. The shoot, which took about a month to organize and turned out to be outrageously expensive (nearly a $100,000), would be jeopardized if he suddenly and understandably backed out. After carefully explaining to Bill in an email what I wanted to do the bit baron wrote back, "Let's do it." We rigged up redundant systems because I was pretty sure my insurance policy wouldn't have covered him.
